O Almighty and Merciful Savior. Who chose St. Jude to be Your apostle and martyr and Who crowned him with glory and honor in heaven, listen we beseech You to the prayers which he now pours forth to You for us his brothers and sisters on earth. Into his hands we place our petitions for the needs of our souls and bodies and minds. Through his powerful  intercession we implore You for the safety of our homes and our loved ones for the desire to bring the good News of salvation to all, especially those most in need of Your love, for the strength to be loyal to You until death, and in particular we plead with You through the merits of St. Jude, for the special graces we are seeking at this time (Pause to mention your intentions). And to you, O Mary, the guide and inspiration of St. Jude intercede for us with Your Divine Son so that we too may live and labor like apostles and die and be rewarded like apostles at the end. Amen.

St. Jude, model of humility, mirror of patience, lily of chastity, flame of Divine love. Intercede for us

St. Jude, comfort of the sorrowing, refuge of sinners, helper of the distressed, special Patron of Hopeless Cases, Intercede for us.

St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, Pray for us that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
